Positioning the Crotch Strap

PLACE

 

AT ARMPIT

LEVEL

PUSH

As your child grows, you will need to change the crotch 

strap position so that it is in the slot closest to your 

child. The crotch strap should 

ALWAYS

 be as close as 

possible to, but 

NEVER

 under, the child’s bottom. 

IMPORTANT:

 You 

MUST

 place the crotch strap in the 

front slot if your child weighs 18 kg (40 lbs) or more.

2. Insert crotch strap 

into new slot. 

Insert the crotch strap 

anchor into the slot 

that is the closest to 

the child, but 

NEVER

 

under, the child’s 

bottom. 

Note:

 Pull the crotch 

strap to make sure it is 

secure.

1. Remove crotch strap. 

Loosen the harness straps and move them out of the 

way. Push the anchor up through the slot to the top of 

the seat.
